add `web_search_tool_type` on model_info that can be populated from
backend. will be used to filter which models can use `web_search` with
images and which cant.
added small unit test.
## Summary
Add original-resolution support for `view_image` behind the
under-development `view_image_original_resolution` feature flag.
When the flag is enabled and the target model is `gpt-5.3-codex` or
newer, `view_image` now preserves original PNG/JPEG/WebP bytes and sends
`detail: "original"` to the Responses API instead of using the legacy
resize/compress path.
## What changed
- Added `view_image_original_resolution` as an under-development feature
flag.
- Added `ImageDetail` to the protocol models and support for serializing
`detail: "original"` on tool-returned images.
- Added `PromptImageMode::Original` to `codex-utils-image`.
- Preserves original PNG/JPEG/WebP bytes.
- Keeps legacy behavior for the resize path.
- Updated `view_image` to:
- use the shared `local_image_content_items_with_label_number(...)`
helper in both code paths
- select original-resolution mode only when:
- the feature flag is enabled, and
- the model slug parses as `gpt-5.3-codex` or newer
- Kept local user image attachments on the existing resize path; this
change is specific to `view_image`.
- Updated history/image accounting so only `detail: "original"` images
use the docs-based GPT-5 image cost calculation; legacy images still use
the old fixed estimate.
- Added JS REPL guidance, gated on the same feature flag, to prefer JPEG
at 85% quality unless lossless is required, while still allowing other
formats when explicitly requested.
- Updated tests and helper code that construct
`FunctionCallOutputContentItem::InputImage` to carry the new `detail`
field.
## Behavior
### Feature off
- `view_image` keeps the existing resize/re-encode behavior.
- History estimation keeps the existing fixed-cost heuristic.
### Feature on + `gpt-5.3-codex+`
- `view_image` sends original-resolution images with `detail:
"original"`.
- PNG/JPEG/WebP source bytes are preserved when possible.
- History estimation uses the GPT-5 docs-based image-cost calculation
for those `detail: "original"` images.

- ⏳ `2` https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/13331
- ⏳ `3` https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/13049
- replace show_nux with structured availability_nux model metadata
- expose availability NUX data through the app-server model API
- update shared fixtures and tests for the new field
## Summary
- make `Config.model_reasoning_summary` optional so unset means use
model default
- resolve the optional config value to a concrete summary when building
`TurnContext`
- add protocol support for `default_reasoning_summary` in model metadata
## Validation
- `cargo test -p codex-core --lib client::tests -- --nocapture`

### What
It's currently unclear when the harness falls back to the default,
generic `ModelInfo`. This happens when the `remote_models` feature is
disabled or the model is truly unknown, and can lead to bad performance
and issues in the harness.
Add a user-facing warning when this happens so they are aware when their
setup is broken.
### Tests
Added tests, tested locally.
Summary
- add a `prefer_websockets` field to `ModelInfo`, defaulting to `false`
in all fixtures and constructors
- wire the new flag into websocket selection so models that opt in
always use websocket transport even when the feature gate is off
Testing
- Not run (not requested)
###### Summary
- Add input_modalities to model metadata so clients can determine
supported input types.
- Gate image paste/attach in TUI when the selected model does not
support images.
- Block submits that include images for unsupported models and show a
clear warning.
- Propagate modality metadata through app-server protocol/model-list
responses.
- Update related tests/fixtures.
###### Rationale
- Models support different input modalities.
- Clients need an explicit capability signal to prevent unsupported
requests.
- Backward-compatible defaults preserve existing behavior when modality
metadata is absent.
###### Scope
- codex-rs/protocol, codex-rs/core, codex-rs/tui
- codex-rs/app-server-protocol, codex-rs/app-server
- Generated app-server types / schema fixtures
###### Trade-offs
- Default behavior assumes text + image when field is absent for
compatibility.
- Server-side validation remains the source of truth.
###### Follow-up
- Non-TUI clients should consume input_modalities to disable unsupported
attachments.
- Model catalogs should explicitly set input_modalities for text-only
models.
###### Testing
- cargo fmt --all
- cargo test -p codex-tui
- env -u GITHUB_APP_KEY cargo test -p codex-core --lib
- just write-app-server-schema
- cargo run -p codex-cli --bin codex -- app-server generate-ts --out
app-server-types
- test against local backend

## Summary
Let's dial in this api contract in a bit more with more robust fallback
behavior when model_instructions_template is false.
Switches to a more explicit template / variables structure, with more
fallbacks.
## Testing
- [x] Adding unit tests
- [x] Tested locally
## Summary
#9555 is the start of a rename, so I'm starting to standardize here.
Sets up `model_instructions` templating with a strongly-typed object for
injecting a personality block into the model instructions.
## Testing
- [x] Added tests
- [x] Ran locally
- Merge ModelFamily into ModelInfo
- Remove logic for adding instructions to apply patch
- Add compaction limit and visible context window to `ModelInfo`
This isn't very useful parameter.
logic:
```
if model puts `**` in their reasoning, trim it and visualize the header.
if couldn't trim: don't render
if model doesn't support: don't render
```
We can simplify to:
```
if could trim, visualize header.
if not, don't render
```
